Department for Equal Opportunities
We advise and support university members and university management on issues of equal opportunities. This includes planning and implementing measures to establish and further develop a non-discriminatory organizational culture based on mutual respect.
Students and employees of the university receive individual advice and needs-oriented support services in the areas of gender equality, family and work-life balance, diversity and inclusion.
Our website is currently being revised. As an interim, you will find links to various service facilities and fields of action that will be presented here in the future.
Service facilities
Diversity
Diversity enriches and strengthens teaching, research and campus life. With its diversity policies, the University of Siegen promotes respectful coexistence, equal opportunities and the possibility of talent development for all.
Gender equality
Equality in all its facets - we provide advice, e.g. on sexualized discrimination, empower women at all career levels, develop equality concepts and support research networks with targeted gender consulting.
Certificate "Organizing Gender & Diversity in Research, Teaching and Administration"
What role do gender and diversity aspects play in research proposals? What unconscious biases can influence appointment procedures? How can teaching be designed in such a way that it does justice to the diversity of students? And how can diversity-sensitive communication succeed in the service and advisory areas? The "Organizing Gender & Diversity in Research, Teaching and Administration" certificate offers sound orientation and practical in-depth training on these topics.
Inclusion
The Inclusive University of Siegen Service Office supports and advises all members of the university - students, teaching staff and employees - on issues relating to inclusion and accessibility.
Family and compatibility
The Family Service Office is committed to a family-conscious university culture and creates framework conditions that support studying and working with family at the University of Siegen. As a central point of contact, it offers comprehensive advice, information and practical support for (expectant) parents and family caregivers.
